PA RT 1. It was in the summer of ‘61 that Jack Fer- ars and myself, then gay bachelors of 30, weary of the business-that had surged in upon us during the winter months, rented between us a. small shooting-box in the \Vost- earn Highlands, with a View of rocruitin our wasted energies in a pastime of whic we were both very fond. I admired Ferrars zilmost assionately. He was a fine, hand- ‘ some/fife ow, with yellow hair and blonde moustache, and possessed the gentleman] manners and easy flow of conversation whio 1 l esteemed above all things. But my attach- ment to Jack was no mere passing admira- tion of his brilliant parts and fascinating manners; it dated as far back as the days when we were boys at school, and had gone on in an uninterruptal flow ever sinCe, strength- ened by the test of time. “'e had, more- over, numberless things in common, among the most important of which was Awe were :both confirmed bachelors; in good truth, bachelors proud of the mimeâ€"bachelors who never intended to be anything but bachelors, and who took peculiar pleasure in saying so, and in vowing allegiance to each other in a ~m,anner that would have done credit to the Corsican brothers.

It was therefore with brilliant anticipation of the delight we were to experience in much other's society, that we found ourselves the ocoupanta of a pretty villa, on the outskirts of .1 little outlandish place in the Highlands, so fur removed from all friends and aaluaint- annex. \\'ith a. sigh of relief and a delightful ieelin of freedom, we wheeled our chairs into t e open bovw'rwindow on the night of our arrival, and lighting our cigars‘ sat do'mi The sounds proceeded from the open draw- ing-room windows of the villa. next to our own; and when at last they ceased, Jack, resuming his ci ar in the most prosaic fashion, ramarked : “ lgy Jove ! that was good sing» ing, Bob. This is better than a. box at the »oper_n ; eh, old fellow ‘2” laid for 113,-" returned Fermi-s, shrugging his broad shoulders and looking the personifica- tion of happy bachelorhood as he thus dis- burdened himself of his anti-matrimonial no’ itions. “But what do you say to a. hit of supper, old boy? It is getting late." I agreed, and we both descended to the dining-room. Mrs. Mason, the worthy house- ' ‘keeper, had lit a fire in honor of our arrival, and the dying embers now cast a. dark red -glow on the walls, making a. decidedly nom- fortable appearance, uotwnthstanding it was a fine autumn night. When we turned up the gas, a cosy little supper laid out for two .fiwas displayed, and the Wine and fruit we had been using at dinner still stood on the sideboard. Never was there two lisp ier, *jollier, or more amiable bachelors that ger- mrs and I that ni ht as we sat chatting over , ,our walnutfi and 0 mt, and laying our plans of enjoyment, until the small hours Warned us that it was high time we were in the pri~ may enjoyment of sloop. to enjoy the beautiful scene before us. In the foreground lay our own smoothly cut lawn and rectangular {lower-beds, with the‘ moonlight falling in gale bright bars over the 1 sleeping flowers ; am beyond the silver loch, ‘ whence we could distinctly hear the light laugh of some late pleasure-seekers, as they rowed slowly homewards; while above the loci: the hills rose in dark majestic outline against the pale beauty of the sky. Jack, as agropos to the scene, had been re eating as best he could, between the whi Is of his eight, Lord Byron's “ Lake Leman ;" and an animated discussion, which had aftcm'zmls arisen on the merits and demerits of that much maligned poet, was suddenly inter- rupted by a burst of the finest music I had oner heard. It was a splendid soprano voice, accompanied by a guitar, singing the old pa- ‘thetic Scottish song, “Auld Robin Gray.” The expression thrown into the voice was simply exquisite. Vthn the inournful minor key was struck Jack snatched his cigar from his lips, leaned forward in a. breathless, list- ening attitude, as if afraid to lose a. single vi- bration, and did not move again until the song had ceased. I.felt stran cly affected myself. 1 had often listened to t 8 same song before, but never with the sonl~thrilling of tonight. As the last cadcnce (lied away, home over the silver waters to the dark hills, it seemed to me as if it Were an angel's whisper over the dwth-hed of a. child. I leaned forward, smiling, to catch a ’inmpse of his expression in the dim 1i 'ht. A haughty curl was on his lips, and a 100 of scorn m his blue eyes, Wthh disappeared "with a ludicrous rapidity as soon as he oh~ served_ I was rallying him. ‘ ‘ It’s the finest sin 'ng, without exception.

Jack winced at; this betrayal of weakness. “ I‘ehaw ! Harding, don’t talk like an idiot. Ten to one she’s an ugl old wretch, with sunken jaws, with powgor enough on her face to last 3. lord chief justice‘s wig for six months." “Oh, because, if she’s pretty, I feel as if I should fall in love with her." “I almost hope she is," I returned, “for then my heart Won't run such a chance of being_captu red. " “ Sorry you think so J ack," I said ; “ but. fool or no fool, if that's a. pretty young girl, I wouldn‘t give Sixpence for your own chan- ces of retaining your bachelor notions much longer, Jack Ferrars." "You are a. consummate fool, Harding," was the. fluttering enoonium of my friend Fen-as. “ I begin to think 80, Jack?" I returned ; “ and, upon my word, I often woner how a fellow like you, upon whom a score of de- signing mammas have had their enfious eyes, was, never caught.” ‘. “, Ah! Bob, {10 law of that," he said; “you and I are too jolly together to care about pretty girls, however fascinatingw else we'd have been married long ago." (KY L-~2.. Ln tLl..1.

" It was a gloriuus morning. The sunshine was dancing gleefully un the rippling surface of the loch, and the flowers were lifting their devvy headg and filling the breakfast room with their fresh fragranw. A very tempting repast stood awaiting us on the table, and Jack's blue eyes looked not, amiss behind the coffee-11m. “ Altogether this is very plensani, Jack," I remarked, as I took the cup he handed in me ; “ you look almost pretty enough in klfilfi. my dear." 1 “ Come, no chafi'.

The wagom-tte was )rmlght round to the dnor, and two very happy heart-whole bachelors sprang lightly intn it, and were howled away down the gravely-1th, through the gate and out of sight. “’e haul a pretty good day's sport on the moors, and returned home in the best of humor with ourselves, and tired enough to enjoy thor- oughly an after-dinner lmmge in our drawing- room, which we had converted pro tem. into a smoking-mom, and ornamented in every available space with menrsehaums, tobacco and cigar boxes}. Upon this evening, Jack, who was a fair player on the ianofortc, was performing the “ Blue Bells 0 Scotland " with much «elabo- rate flourishing and crossing of hands, and I, as the audience, was stretched on three chairs at the window, lazily smoking my cigar in that half-dreamy, mmatoso state that one feels in the enjoyment of Well- em-ned leisure and rest. I cannot say that I was altogether in ruptures over the “ Blue Bella," but perhaps; they helped to promote the pleasant tenor of my thoughts as I lay with my eyes half-clOSod. letting the smoke from my weed curl affectionately in the folds of l Ire, Mmon's lace curtains. “ How jolly Ferrars and I are together," I chuckled to myself ; “ this little trip of ours is going to be altogether a success. Girls are well enough to meet occasionally, but they he. come a bore.

But my fall did not make me forget the thread of my medim~ tions, and as I gathered up my elegant limbs, I remarked : “ My wife would not liavmlone that. Jack." "No; she would have kissed the poor, tired darling, and thrown a shawl gently over him, to keep him from catching: mm," said Jack in a tone of mock affection. “Picture of domestic happiness. 1" I 13.; turned, lauvhing, as I readjusted the vhnim “Hark I met is that ‘1” The stillness of the night outside “as broken by the same exquisite music we had listened to on the previous evening In an instant our hunter wag hushed. lb was :1 gay, liver air, which I recognized as a selec- tion from the “ Student's Frolic," and the sin er seemed even more at home in thisA sty 0 than in the pathetic. It made me feel as joyous as a bird in spring, and had I not been too lazy, I could have danced, in the very exuberanca of my spirits. But, to my surprise, Jack , uan in no mood to talk, and kept staring out of the window, taking no notice of my remark. Feeling aggrieved at not being met with the storm of oppoaition and contempt I expected for roposm such a. thing, I went over and slig fly sh him, at which he ran his fin- gers through his blonds curls, and, looking “Jack, we must get an introduction to that little girl," I cried enthusiastically, throwing my half-finished cigar out. of the window. up with an expression of inno rent surprir».~ asked : “ \leat is 1t 1'” “ \Youldn‘t you like an intrtfluctiun Mig Hallam ‘1" I rupcatod. “ Why, yes ; of course, llzmling ; you xmmlu‘t have shaken a fellow half out of his scnsus to «'le that. silly question," and Jack readjusted his brutal shoulders and rcla med into silence again. ltried to talk to Alias llallaln, mmic, literature, politics, but all to no purposao.

The meet- ‘ ings now are, not for Christians, but those‘ out of (‘hriat and he hoped the Christiana would not crowd the latter class out, but allow them to come to the front There are many who canont inn-he it convenient- to come here early or Hecurc seats, who are anxious to find God, therefore to that class we will issue tickets. which can be had at the office. The ladies’ committee will also distribute tickets in the different denominations to the poor who cannot spare the time to come for them." The building in which the meetings are held is indeed remarkabla A few weeks ago, it was in appearance a (lirapidated struc- ture, unfitted for occupancy except as a store. house, now it is a commodioua and attractive audience room, admirably designed for such purposes as! it is now made to meet. \Vhen well lighted and filled it presents an impos- ing appearance, nothing like it in commodi- ousneus Wan over before secured in Philadel- Ehin for a public gathering of any character. .‘ome conception of ita magnitude ma' be formed when it in said that the gas bill for last wmk was $317. Now that the meetings have. hem in active operation for over a. week, to all outward appearances the ' are a success ; not, only are the meetings fil ed and a. (loop earm'st spirit pervade them all, but it has been found necessary to hold extra meetingu in the adioiniug churches, which, 1 like those at the old depot, have hem dense. fly rowded. ' The soryioon that am hehi are simple. Mr. Moody giws out a hymn, Mr. Sankey leads the mum. after which requests for prayer are read, Mr. Moody caning upon some one to lead in prayer. After singing another hymn, Mr. Moody rumis a passage of scripture, and from this pasm‘a into his discourse, which rarer exceeds half an hour in length. The invitation is then given for those present who desire prayers for self to manifest it by ris- ing. After singing again the meeting is closed with the benediction, the anxious ones panning into the inquiry rooms, where Mr. Moody and a committee of helpom are wait mg. Centunniul affairs are progressing as mp- idly as pwsihlc. It has been decided to clone the Exposition buildings on Sundays. ho great majority of our citizens belong to the working classes, and are compelled to earn a livelihood by the work of their hands, and are unwilling to hear the pecuniary loss to which a visit to the grounds on working days would subject them, thus leaving Sun- day only available for that purpose, and by closing the same as intended, they will be deprived 0f tho, only chance they have of participating in its hrnefits, therefore quite a number of the said working people are 0p- posed to the decision to close on Sunda ’5, and accordingly printed protests have been circulated f(,~r‘sigrlzit11res. The President of the Centennial Commis- Hicn, and the Prcsidcnt of the Board of Finance have sent a. letter tn the members of Congress, asking them tn Visit the Centen- nial grounds, either on their my to \‘Vnsh- ington, or at any convenient time thereafter. ’l‘hoy an: promised courteous nttentinn «lur- ing the \‘i't. It is to be hoped that most of them will accept the invitation, for as yet Congreas has» done but little to Mini helping on the untennizll. and it is believed that after UUCC witnessng the Work that has al- ready been done, they will he unanimous in favoring any rentwnable amount of asaistxnce from C(mgrvsfi. 17p to the present time THE “’EATHER has been quite. moderate for this season of the year, and with the exception of a thin skin of ice which we have had upon several mornings, there is nothing (/0 dunnte the near approach of winter, but within the. last forty-eight hmlrs there has been a decided change, and ice is forming evex‘ywharo. “'9 have as yet had no snow, but the fading of the atmosphere, and the clouds that are forming, would seem to indicate the near approach of a snow storm.
